Prominent People
Aetheling Cenwal
Glory 5,500
Cenwal is a vigorous man in his early thirties. He was
acclaimed as Aetheling in 478 by the thegns of the
Haestingas. His mother and grandmother were both
British women and, like many of the Haestingas, he has
strong ties with the town of Anderida. Cenwal has
refused to acknowledge Aelle as his over-king, and feels
confident that Aelle will not be able to enforce any edicts
against the Haestingas due to the marshes which surround
his territory and the alliance between Anderida and the
Haestingas.
Cenwal owns a large stable, and enjoys hunting along the
fringes of the Weald. He is an accomplished falconer and
hunter, with hounds reputedly descended from Elfhounds.
In battle he fights with sword or spear equally
well. He is only moderately skilled in tactics, and relies on
the advice of his maternal uncle, Llywel. He maintains a
heorthwerod of nine men, led by Childebald.
